About the campaign

Zurab has autism, an intensive rehabilitation course is required!

Zurab is 9 years old. At the age of 3, the boy had a setback in development and was diagnosed with childhood autism. The boy did not speak, did not respond to the name, there was no eye contact, there were no self-service skills. Due to the fact that Zurab is constantly undergoing rehabilitation courses, with the participation of Astrakhan specialists, the boy has made great progress in his development. The boy acquired basic academic skills, an understanding of the spoken language at the everyday level appeared, and an alternative communication system "PECS" was introduced to him. But you can't stay on your laurels! Zurab needs to continue to attend intensive courses in order to maintain the acquired skills and learn new things. The amount collected will be enough to pay for 3 rehabilitation courses, which will be conducted by Astrakhan specialists in Magas in March, April and May. For Zurab, this is a great opportunity to significantly advance in his development without leaving his hometown!
